Lonely Planet review

In the Igreja de São Domingos the Inquisition's judgments, or autos-da-fé, were pronounced. Inside it's imposing, with gashed pillars like a damaged rockface. The much-battered church (just about) survived earthquakes in 1531 and 1755, and fire in 1959. The high altar, designed by the Mafra architect Friedrich Ludwig dates from 1748.
